Application filed November 2, 1927. Serial No. 30,513.

T he invention relates so sad irons and inore paiticularlT to a matchgenerator by ineans el which gas may be generated `lor lighting the ironwiththe use of one or incre lighted matches placed in the hollowinterior et' the iron.

The object et the improvement is to prosad iron having,` a gen eratorfor generating gas troni the gasoline, andv arranged to be heated byplacing a lit niatch or the like within the iron adjacent to thegenerator, a pi'lot light being preferably located adjacent to thegenerator and adapted Cri te be lit to continue the generation otgasaftcr the iron is put into operation. y

The above and other objects may be attained by providing a sad ironhavino' a hollow body, preferably east within which is located a burner,a generator tube extending' trein the i'uel tank into the burner andapilot or generatini burner being provided for heatingy saidgeneratorduring operation olf the iron.

' 0' ay deflecting plate is attached D y to the "eter tube and entendsdown into the hollow body ol the iron, at an angle to suid tube, and insuch position that when a lit inatch or the lilre placed in the bottoniot the iron, beneath said plate, substantially all ot the heat troni thellame thereof will be directed and conducted to the generator tube, anopening or slot being preferably provided at the upper endet the plate,at the point where the saine connects to the generator tube, whereby thellame is carried upward along the under side of the plate and intoContact with the tube.

An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing, in which Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view through theimproved sad iron, and

Fig. 2, a transverse sectional view through the saine, takensubstantially on the line 2-2, Fig. 1.

Similar numerals ret'er to similar parts throughout me drawing'.

The iron inay comprise the cast iron body portion including the bottoni1 and side walls whi-c-i latter inay he notched or out away t intervalsin their upper edges, as shown t 3 'lor the purpose et furnishingsullieient r conibustion.

L he top, or cover, et the iron may comprise the trzuisversely curvedcasting ellek which niay be attached the handle 5, formed of a inetalstrap connected to the top casting as by screws 6, and carrying 'thehand grip i' oi wood er the like.

The fuel tank 8 may be supported as by the bar 9 which inay be attachedto the cover 4, as by oneolI the screws 6, the slotted end 10 of saidbar receiving the pipe 11 at the low r end ot the fuel tank, a nut 12being provided for detachably securing the tang upon said bar.

rl`he burner 13 may be of the usual construction having the short upperleg- 14 and the longer slotted or pel-forato lower leg 15, connected asby the curved portion 16.

This upper leg; 1l inay be inserted into a hollow boss 17 dependinglfrom the cover l and detaehably seeined therein as bv the set screw 1S.l .j

The generator tube 19 leads Ytroni the tank to the burner, and the llowof fuel may be controlled by the usual needle falve shown generally at20. The usual pilot or generating burner Qliinay be provided upon'theupper side of the l wer 15 otl the burner in a po sition to heat thegenerator tube at a pointnear its connection to the burner.

The invention pertains to the heating and detlecting plate Q3 which maybe ol sheetviet-al or the like directly connected at its upper end tothe generator tube :is indicated et 2l, by bracing or the like.

This plate depenes downward into the hollow interior ot the iron at :inangle as illu#- trated in Fig. 2, and it should be noted that a slot 25is provided between the upper end et the plate and the generator tube.

in operating the iron, when it is desired to light the saine, one or twolighted matches are inserted through one of the notches 3 and placedbeneath the heating and detlecting` plate Q3, in such position that thellame theretroin will strike the plate.

The thune will pass Vupward along the under side ot' the plate andthrough the slot or opening` 25,' thus contactingv directly with thegenerator tube, while at the saine tiine `the plate being quickly heatedby the Haine will conduct heat through the points 21- to the generatortube.

lli/Then the laine has ahnost died out the generator tube will besubstantially heated to generate gas trein the gasoline and the needlevalve inay be opened permitting this gas v to pass into the burner whichwill be ignited from the flaine of the match.

rlhe pilot or generating burner Q1 will also be lighted at the sainetiine, thus continuing Y the generation of the gas which will in turn beburned in the perforate lower leg l5 of the burner in the usual manner.

From the above` it will be obvious that a fuel heated sad iron isprovided in which gas v v`may be quickly and easily generated from theliquid fuel tostart the operation of the iron and in which thegeneration of the gas will plate.

2. A fuel bot y, a burner in said body, a generator tube leading from aliquid fuel ksupply to the burner, and a heating and detiectingplateconnected at one end u aon the generator' tube and withinvsaidholiow body, whereby the generator' tube will be heated by producinga flame beneath said plate.

3. A fuel heated iron including a hollow body, a burner in said body, agenerator tube lleading' froin a liquid fuel supply to the burn! v` er,anda downwardly and angularly disposed heating and detleeting plate uponthe generaheated iron including a hollowtor tube and within said hollowbody, whereby the generator tube will be heated by pro ducing a.
